I quote:

> "The remainder are simply stupid. This is approximately the composition of the organization writ large. The number of people at this organization who dislike their job, their stakeholders, and their salary but don't leave even though they no longer have the energy to work is astonishing, and that alone is enough to constitute stupidity as per Cipolla's definition."

Because, apparently, a person cannot be burned out and at the same time still need food, a home, or whatever they needs a salary for, not to mention they might be on temporary visas and cannot risk being unemployed or any of the other billions of totally sensible reasons keeping them from leaving their jobs.

So to answer your "maybe"... nope, no empathy, no wisdom.

Well then we should further separate the stupids: (1) those who are not actively malicious because they are burned out or even with awful health conditions and cannot bring themselves to be more productive and benevolent but still need the paycheck and (2) the a-hole MBAs or careerists who simply use the company as a trampoline to a better paycheck somewhere else and to tell with the consequences if they set back 1000+ families' financial well-being.
